    I remember how cheap the Prius Gen III donut spares were in early 2012, before there was a need for them with the PIP.

    You could have gotten them off of eBay for $60-75 delivered. I remember posting a lot of finds for PIP owners, here on PriusChat.

    They sure want a lot for them, now.

    Suggest you use the link for car-parts in the FAQ or check your local late model bone yard. I bought an unused 2011 Prius compact spare for $30, plus $20 shipping to my door.

    If you are near the Sacramento/Roseville area in NorCal - TLS Auto Recycling 877-247-1717.

    Just carry a heavy duty garbage bag to put the dirty full size flat in if it seems prudent. :)
